Roll Call Songtext
von Elbow

Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air
Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air

I′m not digging deep tonight
Streets alive with one-man shows
Should've stayed in Dutchman′s place
That's the last I trust my nose
Unsurprising dashed advances
Waiting for to be fleeing you
And a mountain high and fizzing with fantasy blue
Try and find you

Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air
Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air


Circumnavigate the plaza
Hermit crab then do the swerve
Murder main and abominable showman
Find the romance they deserve
Got a taxi laughing at me
Follow me falling down the drain
And the river keeps singing you're never sleeping again
And try to find you

When I′m lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms fall forever

Come scooping me up
Like a kid in a bath tub
Smoothing my feathers
With arms fall forever

When I′m lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms fall forever

Come scooping me up
Like a kid in a bath tub
Smoothing my feathers
With arms fall forever


When I'm lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms fall forever

Come scooping me up
Like a kid in a bath tub
Smoothing my feathers
With arms fall forever

When I′m lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms fall forever

Come scooping me up
Like a kid in a bath tub
Smoothing my feathers
With arms fall forever

When I'm lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms fall forever

Come scooping me up
Like a kid in a bath tub
Smoothing my feathers
With arms fall forever
